Fluid management drives success in vehicle service applications

March 10, 2016

Effective fluid management systems allow vehicle service shops to control expenses by effectively managing their inventory of fluids such as oils, gear lube, coolant, and antifreeze. These fluids are purchased and stored in large volumes and dispensed as needed; fluid management systems control and track that dispense. One benefit offered by fluid management systems is that metering can ensure the dispense of precise volumes, avoiding costly, unnecessary overfills. With an increasing number of vehicles on the road today requiring expensive synthetic oils rather than conventional ones, precise dispense and inventory management is key to keeping costs down.
